You need to ask whoever you got it from what it was eating. Trying to change feeders can be difficult at best, especially if they were feeding it something more unusual (fish/lizards/etc.). Once you figure that out, you can figure out where to source your feeders, but I would suggest finding a good local pet shop that sells feeder animals so you can get them easily. If it was eating frozen/thawed, you can also buy larger quantities from the store or online and keep the feeders in the freezer until you need them.
. When I put some fish ond a plate and a mice somewhere in it she always picked that out first.
Ah yes, the classic defensive maneuver "shart and run"when you handle it be ready for it to poop all over your hand
Wait, you mean shart, bite, and then run.
Same here boss! Garter snakes and non venomous water snakes tore me up when I was a kid!gross lesson learned as kid catching em
mom ripping me a new one was worse each time i came home with a new pet and needing a new tank for em
That's not what my scoutmaster taught us.
Lucky!! Mom made me release nearly everything I caught.mom ripping me a new one was worse each time i came home with a new pet and needing a new tank for em
Your scout master apparently didn't teach you well! Some of them bastards are tough! Lol!!
This all reminds me of a great "when I was a kid story"... Camping with a bunch of families that camped together a few times each summer, the dads all gone fishing, moms "watching" the kids. I (one of the kids) and a few others were hiking by the stream when I found and caught a garter snake, which I brought back to camp. It started raining on the way, so wanting to protect the snake from the rain stuck it under my jacket. Just about the time we walked back into camp, the snake made it's way up under my jacket to my neck, which is where it bit me just as my mom walked up to see what we were up to. When my mom came to, she threw me in the car and drove me 90 miles to the emergency room, even though I was assuring her I was fine - and so did the ER docs. My dad wasn't real pleased with her decision to take me to the ER, but he was less pleased with me for sticking a snake under my shirt. He would have told me I was going to die and let me sweat it out for a while. It was a lesson learned for a lot of us that day... Ah, memories!mom ripping me a new one was worse each time i came home with a new pet and needing a new tank for em
i am sorry....UV only as means of heatspot correct? i mean snakes are not lizards...snakes suposedly get all the vitamins from their prey ( thus variability in prey...)I had many garter snakes. They all eat the same but the biggest difference in species is how they go thru winter. Hibarnation, brumation temps will be different depeninding on species. I had 2 fridges with different temps. 5c and 10c. And mexican species I just had in a cold room during the winter.
Like someone said ... use UV and add vitamins depending on the foods you give. An reptile docter advised me to buy the chepest catfood with fish. Remove the jelly and feed it. It has everyting it needs.
Mine didn't like it much. I always siwtched foods with every meal. One off my big Thamnophis eques scotti female loved mice
